Most of the Game is a 1935 comedy play by the British writer John Van Druten. Much of the play is set in New York where a British writer and his aristocratic wife have fallen out of love with each other, and started new relationships with a teacher's daughter and a Hollywood actor respectively. Complications ensue when the press gets hold of the story.

The play's Broadway run was at the Cort Theatre. The cast included Dorothy Hyson and Robert Douglas.
